Kicking off MiN (bit.ly/2ULWfRY) June member meeting in a very digital world! First session on trends in Emerging Asia. Great that technology enables hosting sessions in English/French/Spanish. #inclusiveinsurance @networkflash @InsDevForum
The focus of development programmes are evolving with the digital era, so should the way we programme. Borrowing from the "open" movements the Openi2i initiative provides a view into the inner workings of its successes and failures
Replying to @cenfri_org
@cenfri_org and @Finmarktrust have been working on a new initiative – #Openi2i – to share some of the programmatic learnings we’ve discovered over the last 5 years of jointly implementing the @i2ifacility | insight2impact programme. Explore #Openi2i here: bit.ly/2ok6RKx
